Discussing her role as landlady during the festive season, Catherine revealed she loves Christmas in real life, and filming with Christmas decorations up in October has been a treat. She described Eva’s impact on the pub, noting that it’s been given a fun makeover full of pink, flowers, bows, and bold Christmas touches, reflecting Eva’s vibrant personality and fashion sense.
Catherine teased that Eva has really put her stamp on The Rovers, giving it a lively, girly refresh while keeping the pub fun and festive.
